[@br54991000]

Do you get a tan welding in short sleeves?

[@sarahmaynard269]

Totally Di, but we always knew she was the best welder in the family

Thanks for the support Sarah

Not sure why this is not your most viewed video, it is by far my favorite. :) I think at least 20 of the views are mine, lol. Must be nice to have an awesome wife.

[@timewiththedurbins]

We had a good time making it too. Yes, I do have an awesome wife. I'm always worried that one of these days she is going to figure out that she can do way better than me and I will be out on the curb. LOL

No gloves or shirld when grinding.insafe practices

[@timewiththedurbins]

You are correct, you should always wear the appropriate safety equipment when doing any type of work. Please, I do not recommend following the way I do things. These videos are for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered a tutorial for safe practices.

[@dianedurbin7380]

OUCH!! I thought us guys are supposed to stick together

[@sufficientlyrandom8184]

What size is the expanded metal? #9? #16? Or something else?

[@timewiththedurbins]

The expanded metal is 3/4" x 9 ga. flattened.

[@agodwin2011]

@@timewiththedurbins Is the flooring 3/4x9 ga to thanks. I want to replace my wooden boards with metal.. Great video

[@timewiththedurbins]

#9.

[@timewiththedurbins]

The flooring is 3/4 by 9 flattened. It was already on the trailer. I would have used Un flattened if I had built the trailer. I think it is a little stronger and less slippery.

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks Brandon. We appreciate the support. I'm sure you meant he totally won. LOL

100 points to Diania!

[@timewiththedurbins]

Thanks for your support. The race was so close but if you watch it in slow motion you can see that I finished a tenth of a second ahead of her. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL

[@RaginEagle]

Ya'll are awesome. But,,,,,,, she won. On the other hand, she was still welding when you got up and took the clamps off,,,,,,,

[@timewiththedurbins]

Your are correct, she was still welding when I got up and took the clamps off. She was finishing the welds on my side. Don't tell her though. LOL Thanks for your support.
